Yes. I believe the trigger guard rollpin install/removal is the most dangerous part of working on a lower. Fragile shit.

Yes, drift it out with a punch and hammer. SUPPORT THE OTHER SIDE with a peice of wood with a hole drilled in it.
If you DON'T support the other SIDE. |

Yes, punch it out, but be sure to support the receiver and use a the right size punch.
ETA: I'm slow today. The ears surrounding the trigger guard are the thinnest part of the lower receiver. If you whack them the wrong way, they'll break off. |

Ahhh I see what you mean. Roger that. Thanks for the help guys.
Now I just gotta order a new drift punch set and find some wood to support it, and possibly borrow a drill from a neighbor. God I hate not having lots of tools and a workbench in my garage. - rem |

Just go to Sears and get some Craftsman punches. The book says 5 but you can get by with three. |

I mean it is easy to break the ear of the trigger guard when pounding the rollpin in or out if the ear is not supported well. |

Pinch it into the lower with a pair of pliers like shown in the lower building section of the "build it yourself" forum.
